Plot

[edit]

About 2,300 years ago, China during the Warring States period, where the seven kingdoms of Han, Wei, Zhao, Qi, Yan, Qin, and Chu. Zhao had a large army on the border on the other side of the river, ready to attack Liangcheng, a small walled city in Yan. The lord of Liangcheng asked for help from the Mohists, a group of experts in defending fortified cities, to protect his castle. However, only one person, Kakuri, arrived. Only one month remained before the 15,000-strong Zhao army arrived. In order to repair the city walls, upgrade the weapons, and train the peasants to become soldiers, Kakurei urges the lord of the fortified city to give him full control of the city, much to the displeasure of the generals. Distrusted and even hated, Kakuri eventually gained the trust of the citizens of Liangcheng. With no support from the Mohists, Kakuri faces off against a large army.
